Young Levittown Artists Celebrated at Art Show

Hundreds of works featuring Division Avenue High School’s most dedicated and talented artists were on display during the 15th annual Art Show.

Musical entertainment by the chamber orchestra, under the direction of Mark Martufi, and the chorus, under the direction of Paige Hardison, accompanied this cherished forum in which students took a closer look at the works of their peers, while being encouraged to explore their own creative side.

“This show is a labor of love and the culmination of a year’s worth of work and collaboration between talented students and teachers,” art curriculum associate Frank Creeter said. “Beyond applying a medium to a surface, or simply satisfying an art assignment, students inevitably learned that art communicates, evokes emotions and can serve as an outlet for otherwise ineffable ideas.”

Many of the photographs, sculptures, drawings and paintings were selected for exhibitions and scholarships across the region, including an All-County exhibit, Long Island’s Best, and Advanced Visions 11: High School Artists of Excellence. In addition, the art show showcased a technology and engineering component with demonstrations by students enrolled in the Project Lead the Way Program.
